Carp Fish.

Several of our planters received each can
of young carp on last Tuesday from the Fish
Commissioner at Washington City. There
were twenty fish in each can and they were
received in good condition. Diomel Durio,
Esq, and Capt. j. NJ. Taylor placed their fish
do in mum ber--in Durio Lake, nice clear
sheet of water, from TO 6 feet in depth, which
measures about twenty-five arpents in area.
The young fish will he kept in aseparate shall
low inclosure of the lake until they are of
sufficient size to take care OF themselves and
keep out of the way of larger fish As The
female carp begin to spawn at two years old
and lay several thousand eggs in each Spring
season, it is safe to say that in three or four
years Dnrio Lake will be teeming with this
excellent variety of fish, which, by judicious
management, reach weight of five or six
pounds at one year old. AS is well known the
carp are easily reared ii you have pond or
stream of sufficient depth that never dries
up, and keep out all voracinns fish that might
destroy the young carp. They can be fed on
grits, corn meal, the waste cooked vegetables
from the table, in fact almost any kind of food
8 certain place in shallow water they become
very docile and in the course of time will be-
come SO gentle that they can be handled and
taken out cf the water. None of the original
stock fish, however should be caught and eat
en- until three or four years have elapsed and
the female fish have had time to spawn and
fill the stream with young fish. Ii possible
all voracions fish should be kept out of the
ponds where carp are being prOpagated Ii
anybody succeeds in raising carp, we are sat
isfied that Mr.. Durio will do so. He will omit
or neglect nothing that might prevent him
from succeeding in this interesting venture.

A Public school building.

We understand that sufficient amount to
build the projected public school house in
Opelousas has not vet been raised, although
Mrs. IT, w Lewis has been assiduously cam
vassing and soliciting subscriptions for this
laudabe object, It does look like a cry ing
shame that town of the size and ability of
Opelousas should not have decent public
school editice. Other towns of much smaller
size throughout the State, can point with
pride to one or more cemmudious public school
buildings, built by the generous subscriptions
of their progressive citizens. and why cannot
our people do the same. Why this iethargy
and Indifference, when the demand is inipera-
tive in behalf OF the future welfare OF our
children, and to the intellectual and material
progress Of our town This eulpable oversight
of improvements has turned number of inn
migrants from settling in our midst When
they asked for our public school buildings.
the answer was, I'VE have none" 1t is time
that our citizens were bestirring themselves
in AN enterprise of so much public interest.
Every citizen should subscribe according to
his ability, and our Town Concil should make
au appropriation to aid in erecting building
which can be pointed to with d feeling Of lu-
cal pride and generous public interest We
hope that our town people will defer this mat
Ter no longer, bur push 1t to y speedy success.
